Hello Sao
You should note the right copyright for all files.
Ideally, upstream would have , but falling that, I'm afraid you might
need to start chasing the original code.
In this example [DukPy copyright] only mentions "Copyright (c) 2015
Alessandro Molina", yet punycode.js is "Copyright Mathias Bynens
<https://mathiasbynens.be/>"
Note that DukPy _might_ be infringing upon Mathias copyright, by making
it look as if it was fully Alessandro work.
(NB: I haven't checked whether DukPy actually incorporated the Mathias'
punycode.js, neither is this a statement about potential infringement or
not, plus IANAL)
Best regards
